Exploring and displaying the ‘fun’ side of the ‘horrors’ of surgery in Victorian times stretching from the murderers Hare and Burke, who killed Edinburgh folk to provide bodies for doctors to experiment on, to the role of druggists, and to Louisa Aldrich-Blake, Britain’s first woman surgeon.

Many of the exhibits come from a box of instruments owned and used by Samuel Rains, a Bath surgeon, aiming to capture the imagination and explore the history of medicine and medical procedures with hands-on displays and quizzes.
